Sony delays Blu-ray releases a month

Posted on Friday, May 5, 2006 by MegaZone

While high-definition DVD titles trickle into stores, the arrival of the first titles in the rival Blu-ray Disc format has been pushed back by a month until June 20.

It makes sense – the discs were going to be out a month before the players. A simultaneous launch is a better idea. I just wish the planned pricing on BD systems was lower to cut into the pricing advantage HD-DVD has. Toshiba basically decided to take the hit to push the retail price down.
